I live in Tucson, Arizona. We just had our state championships and this was my first outing with a STS motor. I got the motor only four days before the race and I must say the D21T is the BEST turbo motor I have used to date, tons of bottom end and it just screams down the straight. It was enough to give me the win against all the high dollar Italian motors with more to spare, perfect motor for the truggy class.

I also race electric, and as you can see, did pretty well with my two wheel and four wheel drive buggys.

RACE UPdate:

Hello gentleman as you know I got the motor on Monday so I had little time to break it in after work each day but by Thursday I had it done, our state race was a two day event starting on Friday and ending on Saturday. Both days were very long, we got done on Friday at 1 am and on Saturday we got done at 3 am. None the less it was fun and we had a lot of people come out from all over to race. I ran in three different classes, stock buggy,4 wd mod and truggy. In Stock buggy there were a lot of good drivers but I managed to TQ the class as well as get first place. I almost lost first because of a bad driver cutting the track and taking people out but I managed to hang on for the win. In 4 wd mod we had a lot of fun most of the guys were sponsored by big company's but I did TQ one round but lost it in the third heat by one lap. As you know 4 wd tend to break a lot so about half way through the main it came down to four people out of 12 that were left, It was a close race between me and a guy named mac Mitchell who is a driver for kyosho and in the end he beat me by 1/4 track so I had to settle for second. The truggy class was by far one of the most competitive classes there second to 1/8 scale, there were 28 entries in the class and a lot of competition. Again I TQ one round only to have the same guy(mac Mitchell) take it away. There were a lot of CRT's out there, a few st-r's and a few lsp's. Me and my lsp were running consistent laps of 22.6 but mac and his st-r were a little faster at 21.4, I got ahead of him on his last pit but he got it back on mine. It all came down to the last two minutes(as always) with mac making a bobble in a corner which gave me the lead so I drove it like I stole it and came away with a win. This was my first chance to race against a factory driver but I was confident in my truck and my motor and all the hard work paid off. I was very impressed with the STS Team .21 motor and had a lot of people asking about it, I will get you pictures in a day or two I was just too spent today to do anything. Until next time,
